History

Alba was first settled as a flag station named Cascade along the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad in 1876. At the time, it was part of Forest Home Township, Michigan. A post office opened on December 4, 1877, and the village was platted the next year. The name was changed to Alba in 1884 after local entertainer Alba Haywood.

The community of Alba was listed as a newly-organized census-designated place for the 2010 census, meaning it now has officially defined boundaries and population statistics for the first time.
